Girls (2012–2017): Season 3, Episode 2 - Truth or Dare - full transcript

While Marnie gets a place of her own, Adam takes Shoshanna and Hannah on a road trip.

Baby.

Coffee.

Hot coffee. Come on.

Wake up, okay?

We got to go get Jessa.

- Adam?
- Yes?

We have to go and get Jessa.

She's not done with rehab.

Yeah, well,
we have to pick up Shoshanna,

we have to rent a car, which I
can't do because I'm 24 years old,

so it's time to wake up.



Do you hear me?

Come on.

It's not fun for me.

You're gonna hurt yourself.

Are you okay?

♪ try to tell you no

♪ but my body keeps
on telling you yes ♪

♪ try to tell you stop

♪ but your lipstick got
me so out of breath... ♪

It doesn't even make sense.

♪ Waking up in the morning
probably hating myself... ♪

I sound just like him.

♪ Waking up feeling satisfied
and guilty as hell ♪

♪ but, baby...



I hope Jessa's at least,
like, appreciative.

She should be.

We are really
giving of ourselves,

being, like,
models of female friendship.

And giving up so much valuable
writing time all for her good.

This isn't for my health.

That's bullshit.

- Excuse me?
- You're not doing her any good by taking her out of rehab.

But she said it was
time for her to go.

Oh, wow. When was the
last time an addict lied?

Oh, my God, that's so true.

They totally lie.

My friend Rachel is fully
addicted to blueberry red bull,

and she always tells me
that she hasn't had one,

but she tells me, like,
with a blue tongue.

I just don't really think you understand
the nature of female friendship.

You're right, I don't.
And I don't want to

if it involves ignoring all logic
and being totally hysterical.

Well, you're not really there
for your friends in any way.

I mean, come to think of it, like
when Chad busted open his knee...

I couldn't get involved
because it was under

very illegal and
illicit circumstances.

- Okay.
- I mean, Adam was there for you

when you went totally
batshit insane

and decided to cut your hair like
a little boy on a fancy cookie box.

I just think that women
get stuck in this, like,

vortex of guilt and
jealousy with each other

that keep them from
seeing situations clearly.

"Women get stuck"?

Okay, now you sound
like one of those guys

who thinks a woman
should never be president

because her menstruation
will cloud her judgment.

But they shouldn't,
like, be president

because it could...
Their... their judgment.

Okay, well,
Jessa wants to leave.

Well, you can't always
get what you want.

But if you try sometimes,

you just might find you...

...Get what you need.

What's funny?

I thought you'd gone already.

I was thrown in a room
without any human contact...

No food, no water... For hours.

Why didn't you come rescue me?

Role-playing is not my forte,
my love.

I was in fucking solitary.

But they can't outsmart me.
There was no lock on the door.

Stupid fucks.

But truth be told, I'd sort of like
to be in jail for a day, you know?

It's this feeling you
really can't simulate.

Poor thing.

You're too young to understand

which thoughts are
useless to you.

All right.

When you're older,
your mind learns

to let go of things
that don't suit you.

You start to live with the same
ignorance as the very young.

Of course, being young
is terrifying as well.

You have all of the knowledge,
but none of the language

to dissuade yourself from the
horrible truths of the world.

- Mm-hmm.
- I feel the utmost sympathy for my daughter.

I did everything I
could to make the world

a less gargantuan place for her.

You don't even talk to her.

That's just one of the
ways that I protect her.

That makes sense.

What's your favorite utensil?

Um...

My favorite utensil is...

I never thought about it.

Wait, seriously?
That's, like, insane.

Like, what if you had to pick?

I guess a fork.

Okay, that is crazy.

Like, why would you want cold metal
prongs stabbing you in the tongue

when instead you could have your
food delivered into your mouth

on, like, a cool,
soft, pillowy cloud?

What did you just say?

How was it?

It was fine.
I saw some raggedy Ann dolls.

So, what do you want to eat?

Uh, what are you guys getting?

Biscuits and gravy and
chicken fried steak.

Well, they don't list
their calories here,

so, a, I'm not eating,
and, b, that is illegal.

I'm really, really not hungry,

so maybe you can just order
me pancakes and Turkey bacon.

And then I guess if they
don't have Turkey bacon,

I'll have regular bacon and
a milk shake. Thank you.

- Where are you going?
- To pee.

I highly doubt they
have Turkey bacon.

If they have Turkey bacon,
I would be shocked.

Holla, koala.

Hey.

Mom, don't you think
that's a bit much?

This place smells like kimchi.

Yeah, well,
now it smells like a sephora.

Well, what would you rather have,
kimchi or a sephora?

Yo, where you at?
You wanna come see my new place?

My mom is here and
she's helping me a ton.

Oh, my God, I would love to,
but I'm actually, um...

I am up in Woodstock with Adam 'cause
we're doing this, like, couples getaway

to just, you know,
relax and recharge.

Charlie and I used to do
stuff like that all the time.

Do not utter his name. Just
saying his name gives him power.

I'm picking Jessa up from rehab.

All of us are,
Adam and Shoshanna and me.

Wait, so you lied to me?

For one second.

- Give me the phone.
- I lied to you one second ago for a second

and then I took it back a second
later. That doesn't even count.

Yeah,
but you were gonna lie to me.

What, you don't think I
can handle it, Hannah?

That's not it.

By the way, why are you
even picking Jessa up?

Doesn't she have, like, a magic carpet?

Uh, just
'cause that's the rules of rehab.

She needs somebody to sign a
paper for her so she can go.

Well, since when does
Jessa follow the rules?

And by the way, since when
is Jessa even a drug addict?

She's, like, a life addict.

I gotta be honest. I'm feeling
pretty left out right now.

Oh, I hate that, baby. Oh.

Am I on speakerphone?

- No.
- Hi, Hannah. How are you?

Hi, evie. How's it going?

Marnie, are you saying you
actually would have wanted to come?

Oh, my God, no. Of course not.

I just didn't want anyone to go.

Okay, that makes sense.

You know what?
You guys need to work this out.

And, Hannah, you got to come over
and see Marnie's new shitbox.

Mom.

I'm, like, unrelentingly itchy.
Is that a road trip thing?

What do you have the
rocking chair for?

Uh, I wasn't hungry,
so I bought a souvenir.

It's a rustic souvenir.
It was, like, $14.

My friend zeva has
always wanted one.

She is going to freak when
she sees that I have one.

Do you think the donut's
gonna help my nausea

or do you think
it's gonna hurt it?

I had to take my seat belt off.

It smells like straight ketchup.

I'm so bored.
Are you guys so bored?

Boredom is bullshit.

Boredom is for lazy people
who have no imagination.

I will never be bored as
long as there's Halloween.

I hate Halloween.

This road trip is
just so unremarkable.

You know what I mean? It's just
so similar to other road trips

that I've seen in,
I don't know, various media.

It's like a don henley song.

What were you expecting?

Something I could
write about in my book.

I mean, we're picking
our friend up from rehab

and I just thought there'd be something
I could write about in my book.

That seems like
a very rich area,

but I'm just realizing that this
road trip is not a metaphor.

It just isn't.

And this rocking
chair is so pointy.

It's not giving me any
room to express myself.

My head's caught.

- Can you turn the TV off?
- What?

Oh, me?

Oh, yeah, no, it's fine.

I've totally seen this
one a bunch anyways.

Can you shut your
computer down now, please?

What?

Can you shut your
computer down now, please?

I'm trying to finish
five pages today

so I can stay on schedule
for my publisher, okay?

You're always typing
on your computer.

Yeah, that's 'cause this trip
is kind of a kink in my schedule

- and I need...
- Do you guys want to play truth or dare?

- How do you play?
- Um...

You've never played
truth or dare?

Well, I'm aware that there's
a game that's called that.

Truth or dare is one of the
most fun games in the world.

And it's the game that teaches
children how to behave like adults.

- Okay.
- I was playing truth or dare the first time I got fingered.

Okay, do not, like, share a
bunch of really good truths

before we even start the game.

That's, like, really wasteful.
Okay, so...

I say, "truth or dare," right?

And you have to pick,
uh, truth or dare.

- Okay.
- But you have to do it.

Otherwise, like... You have to.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Okay, truth or dare?
- Dare.

Okay, um...

Okay, I dare you to go
to the ice machine...

No, okay... No, no, no, okay.

I dare you... okay, no.

I dare you to kiss...

Hannah.

Okay,
that is an incredibly lame dare

because that is already my
boyfriend and we kiss all the time.

- Ah.
- Yeah, you did it! You did it!

- It's your first dare!
- That doesn't feel good.

Here, just watch us play, okay?

- Watch us play.
- Okay, we're gonna do it.

- We're just gonna show you.
- We're gonna do a thing.

- Truth or dare?
- Okay, truth.

Okay, what is the most
upsetting thought...

Wait, don't make it,
like, too...

- Like, I want a truth...
- Okay, bedtime.

Night time.

Um, so...

Bed is now?

Yeah.

Good night, Shosh.
Let's play in the car tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Thank you very much for coming.

You really didn't have
to and I know that...

I'm pissed that we can't fuck.

Okay, but we're in the room
with another person, so...

Yeah, well, I just can't
sleep well if I don't come.

When we get home,
it is gonna be a come parade.

- Ahem.
- I wanna come now.

You know what? You do that.

You do that.
You just... you do it,

and I'm gonna go.

And I'll come back
whenever the come parade

has, like, paraded on by.

Why are you being so grumpy?

I'm not being grumpy.

Are you gonna be nicer to me?

I'm gonna try.

Are you gonna turn
your mood around?

I'm gonna try.

I can do it. I'm gonna do it.

- Are you gonna turn that frown upside down?
- I'm gonna do it.

Shosh, you can come back, okay?

We finished.
Adam just has to towel off.

Oh, my God. Is that chex mix?

- Yeah, I'm allergic.
- Thank you.

Did you have fun sex?

I don't know. Maybe now
he'll actually let me sleep.

Um, do you think Adam's right?

About there being no
value in watching sitcoms?

No, he's insane.

No, about the fact that we're
not really helping Jessa

by retrieving her from rehab
when she needs to be there.

I don't know. I wasn't really aware
that she had a problem until just now.

Like,
she's so pretty and guys love her

and she doesn't even
really want a job,

so, like, she really has
nothing to worry about.

You think Jessa has
nothing to worry about?

Mm-mm, I lived with her for,
like, a year.

She's as easy as they come.

What about all the binge
drinking and the heavy drug use?

She just does that for fun.

Shosh, she got divorced,
like, seven months ago.

And, like,
earned a bunch of money from it.

Like, that's totally fun.

And before that,
the trail of broken affairs

and the fact that
she's now in rehab.

Uh, yeah, like, totally cool.

It's, like, a rite of
passage for celebrities.

She probably has already met Ryan
"Phil-ee-pay"

and they're probably engaged.

By the way, it's "Phil-a-pee."
I heard it on "extra."

It's definitely "Phil-ee-pay."

It's 100% "Phil-a-pee."

I mean, I read his autobiography,
so I think I would know.

Whatever, Jessa is no bowl
of fucking cherries, okay?

I know that she is
beautiful and glamorous,

but she has a deep well
of sadness inside her

that most people don't detect.

And I didn't even know about it
in college because all she did

was dance on the quad in
rain boots and a bikini

and, like, juggle knives,

and then one day,
she got really sick.

She goes to the
student health center.

Turns out to be a
kidney infection.

So a bunch of us
go over to her room

to bring her, like,
magazines and snacks

and, you know,
donut holes and shit,

and we're all talking and
she's telling great stories.

She looks like Ava gardner.
She doesn't look sick at all.

Then we say we have to go
to class 'cause it's finals.

She's, like, begging us to stay.

I was like, "dude,
I've got to go. I have finals."

As I'm closing the door,

I see that she's just crying

'cause that's how badly she
doesn't want to be left alone.

That's, like,
a really sad story,

but I think you're probably
remembering it wrong.

Like, you were probably
the one who was crying.

I'm really happy that she's
gonna be home for graduation.

Like,
I really want her in my photos.

Are you nervous
about graduation?

Oh, my God. Not at all.

Like, whatever I do,
it'll be better than school.

Uh, I hate to break it to you,

but school is the best
gig you'll ever have.

I mean, your job is basically
just to be yourself.

That's why I apply to grad
school every single year.

Honestly, the only people
that I ever hear say that

are people who don't
make any money.

Oh, Adam, you were right.
It's such a beautiful country.

I mean,
no wonder truckers do cocaine.

This is boring as hell.

Can we turn the air off?
I feel very nauseous.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- Hiking.

Uh, no,
'cause we have to pick Jessa up.

She's not going anywhere.

You want something to write
about, well, here it is.

The glory of God is
all around us, Hannah.

Trees, frogs, birdy-birds.

What is wrong with people?

Look how fun this is!

I hate this!

My friend Rachel saw
a guy giving a girl

full-on cunnilingus on a hike just
like this on a day just like this.

No! No! Come on, kid, let's go.
You can do it.

Yeah, but you know what, Adam?

I don't want to do it.

And it's really liberating
to say no to shit you hate.

So you go ahead.
You live your truth.

I'll be here living my truth.

Okay.

Or we could all just
go back to the car!

See you in a bit!

But I have no stick!

Shosh?

Ray's third worst scenario
in life... thank you...

Is a road trip with
a spontaneous detour.

Who has a third worst anything?

- Who doesn't?
- I don't.

I don't catalogue my mind.
It's unhealthy.

Adam, you are, like,
so dementedly helpful.

Okay, cool.

No, like, you seem like you
genuinely like helping people.

Hannah needs so much and you give
and give and give like a Saint.

- It goes both ways.
- No, okay, I'm serious.

Think about it. What would she have
done during this period of mental unrest

if her boyfriend had been, like, an
actual human being existing in society?

What if you had, like,
a job or responsibilities

or places to be during the
day like her best friend?

She is my best friend.

Oh, my God.

It's not
always so clear what the best way is

to help somebody without
unintended consequences,

either the people being helped

or the people doing the helping.

We have two stories today,

including a sheriff who
was trying to do right

by marijuana growers.

From wbez Chicago,
it's "this American life."

Oh, thank God you're still here.

How was group?

Who confessed to what?
Who screamed at who?

- Tell me everything.
- Yeah.

- That girl with the tramp stamp...
- Yeah, yeah.

Told us she slept with
her brother-in-law.

Boring or what?

Yeah, I could've told you that.

Truth be told, Jessamyn,

I've been
pants-shittingly scared

that you'd departed already

before we'd had the chance

to properly fuck.

Wait,
we were never going to fuck.

Oh, yeah,
we were always gonna fuck.

We decided that the
moment we met, babe.

The moment we met, if I recall,

I was being held down in a
chair by a woman named Frank.

Right, and we shared a look,
right? Remember?

A look in which I communicated,

"are we gonna fuck?"

And your look responded,
"yes, we are gonna fuck."

Oh, my God. You were
almost charming until now.

That was before my
bag of stash ran out.

What stash?

Percs, vics, klonies.
The usual suspects.

At my age,
group is almost unbearable

unless you have
something to smooth out

the jagged little edges

and the nattering
fucking chitchat.

I've got one Adderall left.

There we go, my baby.

You can have a seat.
This'll take a minute.

Well, can I walk around?

Well, maybe not right here.

It's annoying to me.

- Which one's your sister?
- Her.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hello.

You understand your
sister has been removed

from our program for
various offenses,

including fraternizing

and distributing a zine

of provocative cartoons.

What's fraternizing?

- I joined a frat.
- Intense sexualized socializing.

Okay.

Can I get my pot back, please?

- You want your pot back?
- Yeah.

Sure, I just need to
check with the police

and make sure they're
okay with that.

Whatever. Fine.

We believe that Jessa would
benefit from additional treatment,

but we can't keep her here.

I totally get it. Let me just sign
the waiver and we'll get out of here.

There's nothing to sign.
We have an open-door policy.

But she told me that there was
something that I needed to sign

so I could come get her.

No, we offered to drive
her to the airport,

but she said you were
coming here for her.

There's an airport?

It's a very small one.

There's an airport?

I think it's really
fucked up that you lied to me,

and I think it's even more
fucked up how you left me, okay?

At your father's house
with no way to get home.

I had to catch a ride
to the train station

from a pregnant teen.

She was in labor.

And then I took the
train home by myself

and I felt like a huge loser.

And it made me remember
what it was like in college

when you'd say, "oh, meet me
at the free palestine party."

Then I'd find out you're
over at the Israel house.

And so I just wish
you would get it

that this is not okay
behavior for a friend.

Okay, listen,
it was all weird back then.

None of it was on purpose.

Okay.

And your hair looks fantastic.

You know what? Thank you,

but this haircut happened upon
me in a very challenging time

that you weren't present for.

I feel very glad you like it

because every single morning
when I wake up, I question it.

Okay.

What... why... What is... why?

- What is all this?
- I just missed you so much.

I missed you.

And I would really like it if
you would please stop leaving

'cause I'm really looking
forward to you being around more.

So, please...

- Just please, please.
- Okay, I will. I am.

I'm... I am done with all that.

Okay, 'cause I hate it.

I hate it.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's get out of
this fucking nunnery.

♪ Try to tell you no

♪ but my body keeps
on telling you yes ♪

♪ try to tell you stop...

If ever you want to go to
a meeting or whatever...

Um, yeah.

Sure, maybe.

Okay, cool.

Just let me know.

Cool.
